both root methods i have listed do rest your device because they both require a unlocked bootloader and when you do that it must wipe data factory rest. if your bootloader is already unlocked then your are good and no data wipe is needed.

Accidentally Formatted Nexus 7 (2013) OS... Please help...

Can anyone please help me get my OS back? I was attempting to upgrade from jellybean 4.3 to Kit Kat 4.4 and i knew i needed to wipe but i accidentally wiped the internal. Now when i reboot from recovery it said no OS.
I've unlocked and rooted, i have TWRP on my Nexus 7. I've been researching for answer, tried a few things and ended up confused.
I need guide... I need Step by Step, links to get the files. I'm not sure where to get ADB or SDK or whatever to make my computer pick up my Nexus 7... I need new Kitkat rom, new SuperSU. Please help me!

Been there done that. As the post just above me says download the Nexus Root Toolkit. Follow the directions. Only tricky part can be installing the drivers. Also make sure you are installing JSS15R before you put KitKat on.
If you have a mac you'll have to download the Android SDK download some tools and make a folder with ADB and fastboot in it to flash back to stock. Then you can install TWRP, root and install kitkat.

Thank you for your reply. The toolkit is very helpful, but the problem i'm facing now is USB debugging. It need to be on for me to use this toolkit and for that i have no way to enable it because i dont have OS to go turn on USB debugging. Do you have any other suggestion?

How do I remove TWRP recovery?

I just got my second hand Nexus 6p and the bootloader came unlocked and TWRP is installed.
The updates don't work when TWRP is installed so I want to go back to the stock recovery.
How can I achieve that?
Build number: MMB29P
Android 6.0.1
January 2016 patch.
twrp has nothing to do with not being able to take an update.

Easy Way to Root Android 7?

Is there any easy way to root Android 7 right now? I want to add viperFX because the speaker on my phone is whack as well as maybe test out a few kernels (is Franco still any good? Haven't used one of his kernels since the N4 days). Also I'm not sure if rooting will help but is there also a way to add 60fps recording weather that's 1080p or 4k?
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you and happy flashing
Same as M. Flash twrp 3.0.2-2, run supersu 2.76 in TWRP.

I don't think i understand what you mean, you can use any root. But for "normal" root you need to patch the kernel.

My personal experience is some modules don't work well with Emui and even lag and/or increase battery consumption of the phone. Hiding root or greenify, for example, are a hit or miss.

Google released the Android 7.1 Developer preview for the Nexus 5X device.

You can enroll your eligible device in the Android beta program to get it on the developer preview or grab the system images here and flash them manually.

I did and everything was working just fine until I tried flashing a tweak to make the nav bar look like the pixel. it sucks because now I will have to go back and redo everything I just did. installing twrp worked, rooting worked, installing the pixel launcher worked, changing the build prop to enable google assistant worked just not the mod to change the nav bar.
Just so everyone knows NexusRootToolkit by Wugfresh works like a charm
